Lets take a week vacation so we can take that long trip (vegas and back) or something by the weekend to try it out and break in the engine

Mark_Dorman · 02-24-2009, 02:25 AM

Sounds like a plan to me

Davis · 02-24-2009, 03:28 AM

Sorry no video from meet. It was pretty boring leaving the camera there on the window haha.

Oh Mixxer, can I come by on saturday to bleed me brakes? I'll even pay ya.

probably likeeee around 5pmish?

o6spdracer · 02-24-2009, 03:56 AM

Hey did anyone see this: TRD Bars. I guess they are going up in price already. I also noticed that the seller is using my engine and frunk photos.

Mark_Dorman · 02-24-2009, 04:14 AM

Isn't that still cheaper than the original retail? EMS used to sell the rears for $299 and the front for $229 or something like that. So anything under $530 is technically a good deal.

Those bars do look good on your car

.

Did you see these?

eBay Motors: TRD TOYOTA TURBO MR2 FRONT & REAR STRUT TOWER BAR BRACE (item 180327708939 end time Feb-17-09 18:45:00 PST)

Wow. I didn't know. I don't really look. I just saw the one and the picture looked really familiar...haha. The one I posted still has over four days left. I'm watching it just to see how much it goes for.

Mark_Dorman · 02-24-2009, 04:27 AM

Yeah...I watch ebay all the time and I saw those other ones go last week. I was actually watching the same one to see if it went for more. The fact that they're not selling for over retail yet means they haven't really gone up in value...

My brother's AE86 is the same way just as the mustang I worked on 2 weeks ago. The guy on the mustang has his car setup as drag tho and daym his clutch is so stiff and it engages early too when you put your feet off just a bit.

hmm but the clutch does not return all the way up, im guessing thats just a spring or something

OMG DAVIS u make me want to buy a camera....

Davis · 02-24-2009, 01:08 PM

The camera and mounts were $200. I don't know guys, the only thing I like about this camera is the wide angle lense and that's about it. Still messing with it though. Trying to get more engine noise.

For sure Mixxer!
